March Favourites

March went by so quickly and my exams are fast approaching. I am now on half term so I have 2 weeks off school, most of the time will be spent revising but I am going to try and blog so that I can schedule some posts as I am going to be very busy the next couple of months. With my first exam in 59 days I need to do a lot of work in order to get the grades I need to get into my chosen university. 

The first think I have been loving is the ELF Baked Blush in Peachy Cheeky this is a gorgeous colour and is perfect for spring. Now that the weather has been improving I have been reaching for this a lot as I think it is lovely to wear when it is sunny. 

Another product that goes with the theme of spring is the ELF All Over Cover Stick in Persimmon this is a gorgeous champagne colour and I have been using it as a highlighter on the top of my cheek bones. It looks absolutely stunning and I think I will use it a lot in the upcoming months.   

This month I have a lot of eye makeup favourites some of which are re-entries. I have found a new use for the Collection Work The Colour Eyeshadow Stick in Vanilla Sky I have been using it to highlight the inner corners of my eyes and I think it looks lovely.

I have been once again reaching for the Benefit They're Real Mascara I really like this mascara and even though it is expensive I have been tempted to buy the full size.  I love the way it makes my lashes look, it lengthens and volumises them and it stays put all day. 

My last favourite is the NO7 Eye Appeal Palette which I got for Christmas. It is a gorgeous neutrals palette and I have loved experimenting with the different colours in it. The quality of the palette is amazing the colours are very pigmented. I will be reviewing this soon so you can see the swatches.

Holiday Haul

Whilst I was away on holiday I picked up a few beauty items and I thought I would share them with as I love reading haul posts. Most of this stuff was bought in Boots or Superdrug.

Firstly I wanted to pick up the new Collection Eyeshadow Pencil to give them a try and see how they compare to the Rimmel Scandaleyes Eyeshadow Stick . I got the shade Vanilla Sky which is a metallic cream colour. I haven't tried it yet but from the swatches I have done I am very excited to try it. I also picked up the much loved Lasting Perfection Concealer I am going to say something that may shock you but I have never tried this concealer despite all the hype that it has. I don't know why I've never tried it I think it may have been scared that it was over hyped and wouldn't actually be very good but I am impressed. I have only used it once but I really like it the coverage it gave was really good and I can see why so many bloggers love it. At the time they had an offer on if you spent £4 you got a free nail polish and I choice the shade Neon Art I love the nail polishes as they are amazing quality for such a low price.

Next I picked up 2 new Barry M Gelly Hi Shine polishes because I have become a massive fan of them. After trying Greenberry  and loving it I knew I'd have to pick up some more shades. Whilst I was in Boots I noticed that they were on offer buy one get one half price so I snapped up 2 colours and I plan to pick up more. I got the shades Passion Fruit (you all know I love red polishes) and Blueberry which I saw on the shop assistant in Argos and I knew I had to have it because it is such a pretty blue colour. 

I didn't actually need these 2 items but the offer was too good to refuse. I have never tried a Seventeen mascara and when I saw that they'd bought out a new one I thought I would give it a go this was helped along by the fact that if you bought the new Back Lash mascara you got the Back Lash eyeliner for free so I thought it was a great deal so I picked up the mascara not that I actually need a new mascara as I have tons on the go already. 

Next I got the L'Oreal Micellar Solution I've heard a lot of people comparing this to Bioderma and I love this sort of product to remove my eye makeup so I thought it was worth giving it a try. 

I got the last few items from Poundland. As you can see I picked up 6 OPI nail polishes for a £1 each. They are shatter ones but that doesn't bother me and they were worth getting as they were such a low price. I also picked up a Milani blush and bronzer duo I picked this up as I liked the colour of it and the bronzer was matte and since I don't have many bronzers I thought it was worth getting.

Rimmel Scandaleyes Eyeshadow Stick Bulletproof Beige Review

Whilst browsing the Rimmel stand in Boots I noticed the Scandaleyes Eyeshadow Sticks and I was very intrigued by them. I thought they would be great for a quick pop of colour on my lids and would be perfect for school mornings when I was in a rush.

I chose the shade Bulletproof Beige as this seemed to be the one that I would use the most. The shade range of these is quite limited they only have 5 colours. They have a brown, black, purple and turquoise and this one which is a shimmery gold colour. I wish they did more neutral shades as I really like this for a quick wash of colour on my lids when I am in a rush. 

The colour pay off is ok it is not as pigmented as some eyeshadows but this is why I like it as it provides a subtle shimmer to my lids which makes it perfect to wear to school as it isn't too in your face. This blends beautifully on my lids and lasts all day. Once it is blended in the product does not budge which is great as it has been warmer recently and I was worried that it might slip but it hasn't. I have heard some people say that this creases on them but creasing rarely seems to be a problem for me. I suggest if it does crease on you use a primer before applying it. I believe that Rimmel are the first drugstore company to tackle these eyeshadow sticks (Clinique bought some out to go with their Chubby Sticks for lips) and they have done a very good job and I'm thinking about picking up the brown and black as well. MUA are bringing out their own version of these so I will be getting them to see if they are any good. I believe that in the US you can get 4 extra shades a white, grey, green and blue I hope they bring these shades out over here soon as the white and grey look like great colours. I think these are great for summer and I included them in my Summer Essentials post as they are light and stay put throughout the day. 

You can get these in Boots and Superdrug and they are £4.49

Have you tried these?
